Check this out, just found out that there's a movie in the making about Bill Clinton's time in the White House. Oh how juicy this is gonna be - particularly if the whole story is told. And you know the only part anybody wants to see deals with a particular, raven-haired intern named Monica. And you can't wait to see Hillary's reaction. Good times in DC!
The movie will be titled "Special Relationship," which will be written and directed by Peter Morgan (of Frost/Nixon). Rumor has it that Dennis Quaid is in the running to play Slick Willie and Julianne Moore will play Hillary.
Here's another former politico on the screen: Former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice will make an appearance on Jay Leno's Tonight Show Tuesday night (March 24). According to an NBC, Condi will be discussing "her years of high-profile public service, and her new areas of focus following the Presidency of George W. Bush." Should be interesting. Time for Tivo.Big Dick Cheney is ruffling some feathers again - and this time it's members from his own party! According to The Hill, Congressional Republicans are telling Dick Cheney stick a sock in it and go back to his undisclosed location, leaving them alone to rebuild the Republican Party without his input. It seems many Republicans are displeased with the former vice-president's recent media appearances. They say he's hurting GOP efforts to reinvent itself after back-to-back electoral drubbings.

Say it ain't so! According to AP, the Plains Visitor Information Center pays tribute to Jimmy Carter, the peanut farmer-turned-president, and it also stands as a reminder that even one of the most sacred names in Georgia politics can fall victim to a budget crisis. Despite a campaign led by leaders of Carter's hometown — and the Democrats who represent his district — the center is on the verge of losing its state funding. The latest budget proposal passed by the House on March 18 strips the center of $186,000 it cost to run last year. Yikes!
Former British Prime Minister made quite a lengthy trip recently to Ateneo de Manila University in the Philippines to make a speech, entitled "The Leader as a Nation-Builder in a Time of Globalization." Blair talked about his experiences and how in today's world, no nation is powerful enough to move forward on its own. All our problems, from the fight against terror to global warming, all need a concerted effort and meaningful cooperation among nations if we are to succeed.
